A family of four, including parents and their two minor daughters, died at Mumbai's JJ Hospital after consuming watermelon at around 1 am. They had hosted guests earlier, who left after having dinner at 10.30 pm and showed no symptoms. The watermelon, not dinner, may have caused the suspected poisoning, police said. The watermelon has been sent for forensic analysis.
